Blood Test Results April 25, 2006
I had a blood test done a couple of weeks ago (before the Easter blow-out!), and thought it’s probably worth posting the results here.
My total cholesterol score was 3.6, triglicerides was 0.8, and fasting blood glucose score was 4.6. According to these health assessment guidelines, those look like pretty good scores. My total cholesterol is actually lower than the ‘healthy’ range - I’m not sure what that means, but my doctor doesn’t think it’s a problem.
I wish now that I’d gotten around to having a blood test done before I started losing weight. It’d be interesting to see how those numbers have changed over the last several months.
I did a urine test at the same time, and the woman who analysed that remarked that I had high ketone levels. When I told her I’d been losing weight for a while and had fasted for the blood test, she said it would be expected. I guess it’s good to know that my body is in ‘ketosis’ - that means I’m burning fat.
